Floyd Observations (regardless of other weird scene activity) =
LEO Responce — Floyd used fake fed bills to purchase/rob a store and satisfy his chemical wants. Is both federal and state crime.
Toxicology Report — Floyd behind the wheel with multiple classes of heavy drugs in system, enough to probably kill him.
— Floyd does put on an act, (claiming to be afraid of space in police SUV, after just having come from a smaller vehicle cabin space), does not follow multiple police instructions, AND DOES RESIST ARREST, and literally all police efforts.
— Floyd clearly does resist/struggle with police from the beginning, not initially showing his hands when asked, (possibly attempting to hide something), then acting like he was being hurt while continuing to resist all police efforts. Police were clearly not using deadly force, and actually treating Floyd rather softly throughout the new bodycam footage.
— One of the officers continuously struggling with Floyd throughout the leaked video footage was the black officer.
Nothing shocking here.
Expected to see what is in this video.
Ultimately a rather gentle approach used by police, exactly because of the two tiered justice system.
Knee in the neck for prolonged period provided a near exact opposite image of the overall actual encounter.
“Knee in the neck” or knee on the neck. It was actually knee above the neck. To keep Floyd from getting back up. Knee above the neck does not kill. Fentanyl does kill and did kill Floyd.
